DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS

To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are a part rather than all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an application heartbeat period adjusting method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in FIG. 1, the application heartbeat period adjusting method in the embodiment may include the following steps.

101: Determine, according to an identifier of an application, that the application is in a heartbeat adjustment blacklist, where the heartbeat adjustment blacklist includes an identifier of an application on which a heartbeat period adjustment needs to be performed.

In an embodiment of the present invention, before step 101, the method includes, if it is determined that the application is not in an application whitelist, a heartbeat type and the first heartbeat period of the application are acquired. The method further includes, if the heartbeat type of the application is a heartbeat type that needs an adjustment, and it is determined, according to the first heartbeat period of the application, that the number of times the application wakes up a system within a preset period of time is greater than a preset times threshold, it is determined that the first heartbeat period of the application needs to be adjusted, and the identifier of the application is added to the heartbeat adjustment blacklist.

In a specific implementation, for example, there may be alarms of some special applications, such as an alarm of a clock application, an alarm of a general packet radio service (General Packet Radio Service, GPRS for short), or an alarm of the Google (Google), in a terminal, and because of specificity of these applications, to avoid impact of a trigger heartbeat period on application services of some special applications, heartbeat periods set for the alarms of these applications do not need to be adjusted. In the embodiment, the application whitelist may be set, where the application whitelist includes an identifier of an application on which it is determined, according to an application attribute, that the heartbeat period adjustment does not need to be performed.

For another example, after it is determined that the application is not in the application whitelist, the heartbeat type and the first heartbeat period of the application need to be acquired, and generally, the heartbeat type and the first heartbeat period of the application may be acquired according to an alarm configuration file of the application.

It should be noted that, in an actual application, multiple applications are installed in the terminal, and each application may set a heartbeat type and a heartbeat period of the application by using an alarm (Alarm), so that each application periodically wakes up the system according to its own heartbeat period, thereby ensuring a connection between the application and a server or that some statuses in the application are refreshed. A heartbeat period is a timeout period preset by the alarm, and when an elapsed time reaches a timeout period preset by the alarm, an application service may be triggered by waking up the system. For ease of description, in the embodiment, an original heartbeat period that is set by an application by using the alarm is referred to as a first heartbeat period.

Heartbeat types of the embodiment include: RTC_WAKEUP, RTC, ELAPSE_WAKEUP, and ELAPSE, where the RTC_WAKEUP indicates triggering the application service by waking up a terminal at a specified time. The RTC indicates triggering the application service at an explicit time but not waking up the terminal. The ELAPSE_WAKEUP indicates, if the elapsed time reaches the timeout period after the terminal is enabled, triggering the application service but not waking up the terminal, the elapsed time includes any time when the terminal sleeps, and it should be noted that, a calculating point of the elapsed time is from a last time of enabling the terminal. The ELAPSE_REALTIME_WAKEUP indicates, if the elapsed time reaches the timeout period after the terminal is enabled, waking up the terminal and triggering the application service if it is required.

For another example, whether the first heartbeat period of the application needs to be adjusted is determined according to the acquired heartbeat type and the acquired first heartbeat period of the application. In the embodiment, the heartbeat types RTC_WAKEUP and ELAPSE_WAKEUP are set as heartbeat types that need to be adjusted. When the acquired heartbeat type of the application is the foregoing RTC_WAKEUP or ELAPSE_WAKEUP, it needs to further determine, according to the first heartbeat period of the application, whether the number of times the application wakes up the system within a preset period of time is greater than the preset times threshold. Assuming that waking up the system 4 times per hour is used as the preset times threshold, when the first heartbeat period of the application is 6 minutes, the application needs to wake up the system 10 times (greater than the preset times threshold 4 times) per hour, and the first heartbeat period of the application needs to be adjusted.

102: Adjust a first heartbeat period of the application to a second heartbeat period according to a preset trigger heartbeat period.

To achieve unified management of heartbeats of multiple applications in the terminal, the terminal is woken up in a unified manner according to a certain time pattern, and the terminal is enabled to stay long in a standby state, in the embodiment a trigger heartbeat period and an alarm adjustment algorithm are preset.

The trigger heartbeat period is an adjustment period according to which the first heartbeat period is adjusted. In an actual application, multiple applications are installed in a terminal, each application has a corresponding first heartbeat period, and the trigger heartbeat period in the embodiment may be specifically set according to first heartbeat periods of the multiple applications in the terminal, for example, assuming that the terminal has five applications, first heartbeat periods corresponding to each application are respectively 3 minutes (min), 4 min, 5 min, 7 min, and 8 min, to achieve unified management of heartbeats of the multiple applications in the terminal and wake up the terminal in a unified manner according to a time pattern, the trigger heartbeat period of the terminal may be set to 5 min. For another example, assuming that the first heartbeat periods corresponding to the five applications respectively are 6 min, 7 min, 8 min, 11 min, and 12 min, the trigger heartbeat period of the terminal may be set to 10 min.

The alarm adjustment algorithm includes the following formula:

When=((origwhen+sAlignmentPerid−1)/sAlignmentPerid)*sAlignmentPerid;

When is the second heartbeat period of the application, Origwhen is the first heartbeat period, and sAlignmentPerid is the preset trigger heartbeat period.

The foregoing alarm adjustment algorithm may be described as follows.

The second heartbeat period of the application=((the first heartbeat period of the application+the preset trigger heartbeat period−1)/the preset trigger heartbeat period)*the preset trigger heartbeat period.

For example, assuming that the first heartbeat period of the application is less than the trigger heartbeat period, for example, if the first heartbeat period is 3 seconds, and the preset trigger heartbeat period is 5 seconds, according to the foregoing alarm adjustment algorithm, (the first heartbeat period of the application+the preset trigger heartbeat period−1)/the preset trigger heartbeat period) equals 7/5, which is 1 after being rounded down. The second heart period of the application, obtained after 1 is multiplied by the preset trigger heartbeat period, equals 5 seconds.

For example, assuming that the first heartbeat period of the application is greater than the trigger heartbeat period, for example, if the first heartbeat period is 7 seconds, and the preset trigger heartbeat period is 5 seconds, according to the foregoing alarm adjustment algorithm, (the first heartbeat period of the application+the preset trigger heartbeat period−1)/the preset trigger heartbeat period) equals 11/5, which is 2 after being rounded down. The second heart period of the application, obtained after 2 is multiplied by the preset trigger heartbeat period, equals 10 seconds.

The following describes the embodiment of the present invention from a dimension of a timeline of an alarm.

Assuming that there are multiple applications in a terminal, each application having a different first heartbeat period, FIG. 2 is a timing diagram of first heartbeat periods, of the multiple applications in the terminal, on the timeline of the alarm. As shown in FIG. 2, because each application has a different first heartbeat period, timing on the timeline of the alarm is disordered, the terminal in a standby state is often woken up by clocks of these applications, and cannot enter deep sleep, thereby wasting standby power consumption of the terminal.

To achieve unified management of heartbeats of the multiple applications in the terminal, the terminal is woken up in a unified manner according to a time pattern, and the terminal is enabled to stay long in a standby state, in the embodiment, the trigger heartbeat period is set on the disordered timeline of the alarm. FIG. 3 is a timing diagram of the trigger heartbeat period, which is set on the terminal, on the timeline of the alarm according to the embodiment, and as shown in FIG. 3, a dotted arrow indicates the set trigger heartbeat period.

Then, delay processing is performed on a first heartbeat period that falls between trigger heartbeat periods, so that a second heartbeat period is obtained and the second heartbeat period coincides with the trigger heartbeat period. FIG. 4 is a timing diagram of second heartbeat periods, of the multiple applications in the terminal, on the timeline of the alarm, and as shown in FIG. 4, the terminal may originally be woken up 14 times, but after the first heartbeat periods of the multiple applications are adjusted to the second heartbeat periods according to the trigger heartbeat period provided in the embodiment, the terminal is woken up 5 times, and therefore, power consumption of the terminal can be reduced.

In the embodiments of the present invention, whether an application is in a heartbeat adjustment blacklist is determined, and if yes, a first heartbeat period of the application is adjusted to a second heartbeat period according to a preset trigger heartbeat period, so that the second heartbeat period of the application coincides with the trigger heartbeat period, so as to adjust heartbeat period timing, which previously is disordered because of different first heartbeat periods of multiple applications, in a terminal to regular trigger heartbeat period timing, and therefore, the number of times the terminal is woken up can be reduced, and standby power consumption of the terminal can be reduced.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of an application heartbeat period adjusting apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the apparatus includes a first determining module 51, configured to determine, according to an identifier of an application, that the application is in a heartbeat adjustment blacklist. The apparatus further includes an adjusting module 52, configured to adjust a first heartbeat period of the application to a second heartbeat period according to a preset trigger heartbeat period on a basis that the first determining module determines that the application is in the heartbeat adjusting blacklist, where the heartbeat adjustment blacklist includes an identifier of an application on which a heartbeat period adjustment needs to be performed, the first heartbeat period of the application is an original heartbeat period of the application, the second heartbeat period is a heartbeat period, which is adjusted according to the preset trigger heartbeat period, of the application, and the preset trigger heartbeat period is an adjustment period according to which the first heartbeat period is adjusted.

For example, the apparatus further includes an acquiring module 53, configured to acquire a heartbeat type and the first heartbeat period of the application on a basis that the first determining module 51 determines that the application is not in an application whitelist. The apparatus further includes a second determining module 54, configured to, if the heartbeat type of the application is a heartbeat type that needs an adjustment, and it is determined, according to the first heartbeat period of the application, that the number of times the application wakes up a system within a preset period of time is greater than a preset times threshold, determine that the first heartbeat period of the application needs to be adjusted, and a setting module 55, configured to add the identifier of the application to the heartbeat adjustment blacklist.

For example, the acquiring module 53 is specifically configured to acquire the heartbeat type and the first heartbeat period of the application according to an alarm configuration file of the application.

For example, the adjusting module 52 is specifically configured to adjust the first heartbeat period of the application to the second heartbeat period according to the preset trigger heartbeat period by using an alarm adjustment algorithm.

The alarm adjustment algorithm includes the following formula:

The second heartbeat period of the application=((the first heartbeat period of the application+the preset trigger heartbeat period−1)/the preset trigger heartbeat period)*the preset trigger heartbeat period.

For example, the setting module 55 is further configured to presetting the application whitelist, where the application whitelist includes an identifier of an application on which it is determined, according to an application attribute, that the heartbeat period adjustment does not need to be performed.

In the embodiment of the present invention, whether an application is in a heartbeat adjustment blacklist is determined, and if yes, a first heartbeat period of the application is adjusted to a second heartbeat period according to a preset trigger heartbeat period, so that the second heartbeat period of the application coincides with the trigger heartbeat period, so as to adjust heartbeat period timing, which previously is disordered because of different first heartbeat periods of multiple applications, in a terminal to regular trigger heartbeat period timing, and therefore, the number of times the terminal is woken up can be reduced, and standby power consumption of the terminal can be reduced.
